Noise coming from engine at 3450 RPM-3550 RPM

It sounds like a metal on metal contact, and possibly a loose metal part hitting another metal part. It only happen at around 3500 RPM on my 99 civic EX. Any ideas?

Heat shield from your exhaust manifold? I had the same issue with my old 97 LX once... just ripped it off and stopped the problem.

possibly needs a valve adjustment, but im leaning toward the heat shield idea.
kind of hard to diagnose a sound over the internet

only thing it does is reflect the heat from going towards the radiator, I run a header with no header wrap and have never over heated so it would be fine if you took it off.
